Preprint for "Consolidation of Sequential Planning" with @evanrussek and @NeilBurgess10. We demonstrate the neural representations supporting sequential planning and the effect of memory consolidation upon them: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…. As talk, see also: youtube.com/watch?v=0QcNtzhq…

Replying to @EdvardMoser
Really impressive identification of this functional circuit! Even better it just needs continuous attractor dynamics & firing rate adaptation (or similar) to work, which also makes some new predictions (model with @zilong_ji, Tianhao Chu, Si Wu) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…...

Cognitive models of behavior are a key part of neuroscience. But discovering them is hard! In new work from @GoogleDeepMind Neuroscience and collaborators @HHMIJanelia, we demonstrate an approach that uses LLMs and large datasets to discover models automatically.
Can LLMs be used to discover interpretable models of human and animal behavior?🤔 Turns out: yes! Thrilled to share our latest preprint where we used FunSearch to automatically discover symbolic cognitive models of behavior. 1/12

I’m excited to share our new, open-access paper published today in @NatMentHealth, “Latent mechanisms of language disorganization relate to specific dimensions of psychopathology”. nature.com/articles/s44220-0…

👀🍟Now out in Cognitive Science 😋🤖 We present a new approach that combines cognitive models and neural networks to predict latent preferences. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Using this method we can not only decode the contents of rollouts through the transition structure, but also, across trials within participants, decode the speed of sequential simulation. Faster reaction times are related to faster rollouts - i.e. thinking fast means acting fast.

By showing the evolution of the representational basis for rollouts (MTL to PFC), we address the fundamental question of what systems consolidation is actually for. Not simply how representations change, but directly, how they contribute to subsequent flexible behaviour.

Hi everyone! If you are in London this week, do come by and check out our audio-visual installation about Replay. Working on this with @olivierhenaff at @FlorenceTrust made lockdowns bearable, and I'm very excited to share the results of that process. eventbrite.com/e/memory-repl…

super thrilled, honored and frankly excited to say that our paper on hippocampal replay of non spatial task states has been published in @sciencemagazine today!! tldr:hippocampal replay cares about task states+might help OFC learn them. fun teamwork with the amazing @yael_niv
Decoding sequential replay with fMRI. Big congrats @nico_schuck who demonstrates the importance of sequential reactivation in the human hippocampus for nonspatial decision-making and establishes the feasibility of investigating such rapid signals with fMRI science.sciencemag.org/conte…

Preprint: Value-based framework for understanding cooperation. Starting from neuroeconomic models of decisions and proposing directions for research focusing on memory, attention and social interaction! psyarxiv.com/bkn3j w. @TessaShussmy @diegoareinero @jayvanbavel
"Hippocampus Is What Happens while You’re Busy Making Other Plans". But if you're not too busy making other plans you should check out Iigaya & O’Doherty's fantastic Preview of our recent paper exploring the role of the hippocampus in planning. @nathanieldaw @NeuroCellPress
